Kenny K is having a DT call. I dont know if I´m what they are looking for but I´m going to give it a try! ;0)I just love those amazing Digi stamps! I´ve got a whole bunch of them and they are sooo fun to color. They also have a lot of tough and cool images, and that I really like!

I´m supposed to pick out at least two of my favourite Kenny K cards, and that was not easy.The judgement of that it´s really in the eye of the beholder... :0)

So it´s time for my last contribution as guest-dt at Magnolia Down Under Challenges. This week the theme is Summer. It was really fun to do something completely different than Christmas cards. It's getting a lot of these right now... ;0)

A big thank you to Magnolia Down Under Challenges and all the lovely DT-girls!It´s been a blast crafting with you!

Today is Sunday and it will be a day of cozy clothe, family time and peace and quiet.Yesterday I spent (and little Moa of course) all day on a crafting gathering, Dalapysslingen. Great fun and well organized, as usual! :0)I'm not known for being directly fast in my crafting, and that's not possible faster when you have a small baby with you - even if she is fantastically nice and happy all the time. So two and a half cards I had clearly... ;0)

Yes, its time for another lovely and inspiring challenge over at Magnolia Down Under.This time its sketch-theme.

Heres my contribution:

Today I´m spending the whole day at a craft-gathering!!It´s gonna be so much fun!I usually dont get much done really, but I love to meet friends and people that love this hobby just as much as I do... :0)

This weekend celebrates Some Odd Girl Digi Day with lots of different challenges in their forums. I am unfortunately not able to be participate, but they have an extra challenge in the blog and that one Im not gonna miss! :0)

The theme is Dimension, where there should be at least two things that stands up, and just raise up pattern paper does not count. A fun challenge!

Heres my contribution with one of the new lovely christmas digis!

Its a little bit hard to capture the dimensions with the camera but I raised the image (twice), the sentiment, the paper under the image and made a roll of paper to decorate with on the right side of the image.

Then it was time for another challenge with Magnolia Down Under Challenge, and this time the theme is Shabby Chic.Shabby Chic is for me worn, used, some elegant, soft, soft colors. So - great for ripped, distressed edges, sewing machine and lace! :0)

I have made a card with a drawer. Want to know how to do this, you can go in here!

Shabby Chic interpretation.

Adorable Tilda in soft brown and beige colors.

The card-opening on the top.The left sides sentiment says "Do not open until Christmas Eve".The right side has room for a personal greeting.

A cardfold that have become a little more popular right now is the so called Tea Light Card, which one sees strolling all over the place on various blogs around the world. I think it's a fantastically funny folding, and also ideal now that Advent and Christmas approaching. :0) Maybe as a gift for young ladies school teatchers and kindergarten staff.There are a lot of different variations on this fold, but I have used one of those who is a little easier.

Well, I thought to start the week with some scrap!? No its not like me, I know, because I am a cardmaker no scrapbooker.But this type of scrap is perhaps not completely original (do not even know if it really count as much as scrap) but its looks nice! ;0) However, this is not an idea I'll gonna take credit for, because this one I have been inspired to when I´ve surfed around in cyberspace ... :0)

I have been honored to be guest-dt during November with the amazing Magnolia Down Under Challenge Blog!The first mission is to use self-made decorations. All decorations do not need to be self-made, but atleast a few of them.I took the opportunity to make a Christmas tree decoration, which in itself is kind of a self-made decoration. ;0) But I have also done the little roses myself

A closeup on the little roses.

Tilda is colored with Promarkers and I´ve used flower soft on the santahood.

Last weekend I had the luxury of getting together and crafting a whole day with wonderful girls Lisa and Susanne!It is always nice and inspiring. Then how it should be added that it is not so great productive for me when I have my little 4 month helper with me. But it s worth it! ;0)

Then it was time for another challenge in Some Odd Girl Challenge Blog.This time, the color scheme is: orange, green and purple. Well, that is, after all, Halloween colors, so I run on for another Halloween project. Probably the last of the season. Now the Christmas cards waits, have not got as far as I should with them ...
